Wall Street...

I know I promised to post about this a very long time ago. Blame my room-mate, A, for that. He just sent me the pictures. And what's this story without pictures?

I'm hoping some of you wondered how I managed to put up a photo of the completely painted Wall Street in the background, when R was caught half way through his paint job. Go on, check. In the initial post, R left only the letters Wall Str painted on the wall. Well, the mystery is solved.. so wonder no more. (Ah, how I pander to my own ego!)

If u look closely at the snaps, you will see a timestamp on them. So I wont lie as to when this event transpired. It happened on Boxing Day, that's 26th Dec for the uninitiated.

I had promised to call over our neighbourettes, N, T, K, RM, and P for dinner. Having graciously been gifted a holiday by the company I work for, I thought that this would be a good day to honour my commitment. Decided to call them over around 8 that evening. R had some personal engagement to attend to after his previous evening's maggi fiasco, so he would only be able to help after that. Anyway, I digress..

2000 hrs.
Call R to check when he will be coming. He, after all was going to bring some of the required ingredients. Phone not reachable.

2030 hrs.
R calls to say he is on his way, and will be bringing the requisite foodstuff.

2045 hrs.
R arrives, and the cooking begins.

2100 hrs.
Still no sign of the neighbourettes. Call N. T answers. Claims they will be there in 5 min. Breathe a sigh of relief. We had another half an hour!

2120 hrs.
N, T, and K arrive with Ice-cream. R joins them along with A in the main room, to pig out. (Was S there? I cant remember!)
N keeps trying to drag me out of the kitchen to have the ice cream. But not in the middle of cooking. I finally put the rice on to boil, and have whatever was left of the ice-cream. Mmmm.. Chocolate chip ice cream. Can still taste it. :-) Thanks gals.

2145 hrs.
Dinner is served.
A sumptuous meal of Rajma, Cholle, and Rice served with pickle and mango chutney. (all cooked by me btw, in case any single ladies are reading this) If u don't believe it was sumptuous ask the girls who were present. They are still alive and kicking!

2225 hrs.
People want to see the garden. When I lead them there, they get scared of all the creepy crawlies that could also join them there. (I talk about the insects with 6-8 legs; not us!)
A conversation arises as to why we have not completed painting Wall Str. We tell them we left it for them to do!
They laugh......


.... And then demand the can of paint and the brush. R gladly hands it over to them. A gets his camera. I get shutter happy!
